Pahlish Patisserie de Pahlish Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey everyone! I have a new collection from Pahlish to share today. This month's collection is actually done in two parts. The Patisserie de Pahlish consists of 5 creme polishes inspired by the brand's favorite macaroons, in addition to those five, there is a duo of topper polishes inspired by marshmallows. For each of the cremes, I layered over one of the two toppers, so you would be able to see a variety of combinations.

The Patisserie de Pahlish Collection will be released this Friday, April 8th 7 pm CST in Pahlish's shop.

The cremes will be $11 individually or $50 for the set of five. The topper polishes will be $12 each and sold individually.

I am going to list the topper descriptions first so you have that information before you see the photos:

Guimauve a la Framboise - topper with a mix of copper flakes with rosy glass-fleck shimmer and red ultra-chrome flakes

Marsala red creme
Warm and rich in coloring, something I would wear any time of the year. The best of the lot, formula wise, two easy coats for opacity.

Guimauve a la Framboise layered over Griotte Amande

This combination works so well, with the copper flake topper against the warm marsala red.

Pahlish Menthe Glaciale

Two coats

Glacier blue creme
A really lovely shade of blue with a bit of green in the coloring and as well as a dusky overtone. Two opaque coats for coverage.

Guimauve a la Violette layered over Menthe Glaciale

You can see the violet shimmer a bit more easily here against the blue base.

Pahlish Petale de Rose

Two coats

Soft orchid pink creme
~swoon~ A gorgeous softened pink creme that is still quite bright looking. This had a bit more of a "watery" consistency to the formula so I waited a couple of minutes longer between coats and layering but otherwise no other critique.

Pahlish Pistache

Two coats

Warm pistachio creme
When I first glanced at the name, I didn't immediately think of pistachio as a color reference, as most of the time, pistachio is a lighter color. But if you think of how a pistachio nut color actually looks like, this is more accurate than say, a mint color that pistachio ice cream or pudding usually is. My brain, by the way, is way more analytical of colors and shades, so that was likely more of a color break down than you were expecting. Formula is great, two coats and that is all you need.
